Fairtrade Coffee Morning draws large crowd

Published: 2 March 2020

A Fairtrade Coffee Morning drew a large crowd at Exeter’s historic Guildhall.

Part of Fairtrade Fortnight, the event featured a wide range of samples of Fairtrade produce and information from Traidcraft.

Cllr Amal Ghusain, Lead Councillor for Equalities, Diversity & Communities, said: “It is very important that people support Fairtrade wherever possible, because it ensures a fair deal for producers. The Fairtrade coffee morning was an excellent opportunity for people to find out more.” 

The Fairtrade Foundation awarded Exeter Fairtrade city status in 2004. This means that it is formally recognised as a city with strong support for Fairtrade by local residents, businesses, schools, faith communities and community groups.

The coffee morning was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Exeter.
